Rotating text (or icons, since they are part of a special font that AutoREALM uses) may cause them to display differently. If Windows is set up to smooth edges of screen fonts (an option with Microsoft Plus! on high color screens), you will get this effect. The cause of the effect is that the Windows font renderer will only smooths fonts that are displayed in the normal orientation. If you rotate a font at all, the font will not be smoothed.
Printers will not have this problem, and will display test and icons the same way no matter what the rotation of the text or icon is. On the screen, you can turn off this effect if it bothers you, but this will turn off font smoothing in every other program as well. To turn it off, right-click on your desktop, choose Plus!, and turn off Smooth edges of screen fonts.
